Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

While the install was going, I switched to my everyday account while I waited. When I logged out to check on the installation, it skipped gdm and put me into the root gnome session. 3) See #2 4) I expected to go to gdm to log in to the waiting root session. 5) I reproduced it consistently (with and without synaptic running) logging out of gnome, lxde and openbox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/740629/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
